Crate poem_openapi

OpenAPI support for Poem.

Poem-openapi allows you to easily implement APIs that comply with the OpenAPIv3 specification. It uses procedural macros to generate a lots of boilerplate code, so that you only need to focus on the more important business implementations.

Features

• Type safety If your codes can be compiled, then it is fully compliant with the OpenAPI v3 specification.
• Rustfmt friendly Do not create any DSL that does not conform to Rust’s syntax specifications.
• IDE friendly Any code generated by the procedural macro will not be used directly.
• Minimal overhead All generated code is necessary, and there is almost no overhead.

Quickstart

Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "helloworld"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
poem = "3"
poem-openapi = { version = "5", features = ["swagger-ui"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["macros", "rt-multi-thread"] }

main.rs

use poem::{listener::TcpListener, Route, Server};
use poem_openapi::{payload::PlainText, OpenApi, OpenApiService};

struct Api;

#[OpenApi]
impl Api {
    /// Hello world
    #[oai(path = "/", method = "get")]
    async fn index(&self) -> PlainText<&'static str> {
        PlainText("Hello World")
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let api_service =
        OpenApiService::new(Api, "Hello World", "1.0").server("http://localhost:3000");
    let ui = api_service.swagger_ui();
    let app = Route::new().nest("/", api_service).nest("/docs", ui);

    Server::new(TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:3000"))
        .run(app)
        .await;
}

Check it

Open your browser at http://127.0.0.1:3000.

You will see the plaintext response as:

Hello World
